We have no family history of baldness but every time I rub my hair, my hand has strands?

of hair in it. I do not have any strands of hair in my pillow and check it every morning. My hair only falls out when I pull my hair.

Sometimes I got two, sometimes three strands of hair.

Should this means any serious concerns? I need smart answerers.

Update:

Addition: I do not even use any shampoo or conditioner. This is the only time that it happened to me. In fact, almost all my relatives have very thick hair. We have no family history of baldness.

    Stop pulling your hair!

    Dove hairfall facts:

    1. Humidity makes hair dry and brittle, leading to hairfall

    2. Colouring the hair damages the hair strands leading to breakage

    3. Pollution is also an unseen killer of healthy hair

    4. Tangled hair is the most common reason for hair fall

    5. While shampooing cleanses your hair, regular conditioning is required for adequate moisturization. Regular use of conditioner post shampoo also solves the problem of entangling which is the major cause of hairfall.

    HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies. You've got any of those on your hair?

    Supplements, medications, anti-acne products, hair oil, birth control pills, pollution in the water, to name just a few . . . ALL HAVE SIDE EFFECTS. Example: "I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair. I don't know if it is temporary or I have to seek medical treatment." YA poster 9-27-12. Four men are charged in federal court for selling home-brewed hair growth drugs online. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54991911-78/ahn-...

    Any reactions to a drug - like Vitamin B complex which is a supplement - 'side effect' is a negative reaction to a drug - this is your body telling you that what you just gave it is toxic to it, and instead of helping you, it is actually hurting you.  It is your body's way of telling you to stop.  All drugs have side effects, and are toxic...even lethal...to some people at some dosage.  Another term for toxic is poisonous.  We owe it to ourselves to try less toxic treatments first.  Especially since too many drugs merely cover up symptoms rather than treat the underlying cause of the symptom in the first place.

    "You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesn’t get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,” Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.

    I would say to stop pulling your hair. Anyone's hair falls out if you pull at it! People can lose up to 100 strand of hair a day, so thats normal. If it’s like huge clumps of hair then first get yourself checked over because lots of things can cause hair loss so it’s best to be safe than sorry. It could be due to a bad diet, crappy shampoo or lots of stress. You can help out by using hair masks with banana and avocado, or honey with olive oil. If you can, go to the beyas site online and get their argan oil, its silicone free so its the best for hair and its very light. That stuff helps hair to grow out stronger and prevents more hair loss, my mom used it a while back and it worked for her.
